Comment (by rmattes):
Right, the problem is that it used to be in epel before rhel absorbed it,
and therefore there are other packages that still depend on it. Case in
point: octave in epel6 is currently uninstallable:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9831397
Are you saying it's not possible for epel to provide an ExclusiveArch:
ppc64 suitesparse to work around rhel, and that we must rebuild and
ExcludeArch: ppc64 all of the packages that depended on it? If so, is it
as simple as adding ExcludeArch and rebuilding, or does there need to be
some retirement process (as the un-installable packages like octave are
currently on the epel6 ppc64 mirrors.)
